"I don't think Master Edward would have laughed,when his life was in danger,Miss Eyre. You must have been dreaming,"she said. "No,I wasn't dreaming,Grace. And I know what Mr.Edward's laugh sounds like. It was someone else,"I said very firmly. "Did you open the door?Did you see anyone in the hall?"she said. She looked angry and frightened,like a trapped animal. Suddenly I realized that if Grace thought that I knew what she had done,she might try to hurt me. "No,I didn't open my door.I locked it,"I answered, "and I will lock it every night from now on." "That's very wise,Miss Eyre.There might be a criminal around,you never know!"
